Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

UK vinyl LP pressing of 2006 release from this hard-edged Canadian band. Alexisonfire have come a long way over the last couple of years. Now a platinum act up in their home country of Canada, the band has also established itself as a force to be reckon with in many other countries including the US. They've done it along the same lines as a lot of the other successful Vagrant acts through touring, word-of-mouth, and writing better songs with each release. Well Alexis have indeed written better songs for the new album, Crisis. Showing a level of maturity and aggression not heard on either of the band's previous albums, this is indeed the album slated to take the band from big to superstars around the world. Crisis is balanced. It's heavy. It's catchy. It shows remarkable growth. It shows that Alexisonfire are indeed ready to break out globally in 2006.

"This is from our hearts" is the impassioned declaration that opens Alexisonfire's third CD Crisis. Longtime fans of the Ontario emo-core group would never doubt that claim; the 5-piece delivers a powerful one-two punch via their juxtaposing vocalists, from the screams of co-lead George Pettit to the melodic intensity of fellow frontman Dallas Green. Their pairing is absolutely perfect: Pettit's primal wail would on its own be too extreme to appeal to the masses, while Green's emotive vocals (not unlike Amy Lee of Evanescence) would not merge as fluidly with the group's heavy guitars and metal-influenced drum beats. Together, their fans adore them: the group pushes the boundaries of 'pop' music, with Crisis debuting on Canadian charts at No. 1, although, ironically, very few tracks can actually be played on pop radio. Overall, the disc is more extreme than their past efforts, both harder and softer than before. The strong, crisp production further enhances that appeal, especially on the caustic first single "This Could Be Anywhere in the World" and in the gothic sounds of the closing track, "Rough Hands." Much of the CD stays true to AOF’s unique style, save for "You Burn First" which is dangerously reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails. The quiet-to-loud sonic implosion halfway through the cut, however, creates a forgivable, discordant highlight. --Denise Sheppard --This text refers to the LP Record edition.
